被调查者对儿童精神病理学的评价之间的差异对诊断、评估和治疗有重要意义。通常，父母和孩子完成测量（例如，自我报告检查表，诊断工具），以评估儿童功能障碍。从这些来源收集的评级显示，相对较少的协议的性质和程度的儿童的社会，情感和行为问题。本文回顾并举例说明了临床儿童文献中最常用的测量被调查者差异的方法（即，原始差异、标准化差异和剩余差异评分），并概述了影响其选择的关键考虑因素。作者的结论是，经常使用的方法来衡量线人的差异是不可互换的，并建议未来的调查研究线人的差异，在临床儿童研究使用标准化的差异得分作为他们的措施线人的差异。
Discrepancies among informants' ratings of child psychopathology have important implications for diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. Typically, parents and children complete measures (e.g., self-report checklists, diagnostic instruments) to assess child dysfunction. Ratings gathered from these sources reveal relatively little agreement on the nature and extent of the child's social, emotional, and behavioral problems. This article reviews and illustrates the most frequently used methods of measuring informant discrepancies in the clinical child literature (i.e., raw difference, standardized difference, and residual difference scores) and outlines key considerations to influence their selection. The authors conclude that frequently used methods of measuring informant discrepancies are not interchangeable and recommend that future investigations examining informant discrepancies in clinical child research use the standardized difference score as their measure of informant discrepancies.
